Kayla Pedersen and Toni Kokenis added 13 points each and Jeanette Pohlen had 10 for the Cardinal (24-2, 15-0 Pac-10), who were missing star forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike because of a right ankle injury.

With a chance at ending Stanford's 52-game conference winning streak, the Bruins drew 6,725 people in the biggest women's game at Pauley Pavilion in 13 years.

UCLA was hoping to bounce back from an embarrassing 64-38 loss at Maples Pavilion last month in which it was held to a season low in points. Stanford has now won the last 10 meetings with the Bruins and 12 of 13.

The Bruins kept it close Sunday for the first half with the game tied at 28 at the break. Stanford proved to be too much, pulling away in the second half behind Chiney Ogwumike.

Darxia Morris scored 14 points to lead UCLA (22-3, 12-2). The Bruins other conference loss was a 64-38 defeat at Stanford.
